“Growth is the only evidence of life” – John Henry Newman
I am a self-empowerment coach, personal development blogger, and an online technology enthusiast. I am also a published author on Medium.
I help people become self-empowered by teaching them how to start a blog (and how to become bloggers) to express their assertive voice. See my full self-empowerment story.
There is a ton of research supporting the connection between self-empowerment and blogging. According to research, men (but especially women) derive incredible benefits from blogging. These benefits include a sense of agency and self-direction as well as a sense of community and belonging.
Personally, ever since I started this blog, I have seen a lot of positive changes in my life. It has been an incredible transformational experience. I finally feel independent, fulfilled and happy.
The best part about blogging for me is when a reader shares his/her success story with me. I personally take joy in their success. I am happy that they’re happy.
I have also found that blogging can do a lot to help us reclaim our strength. Through blogging, we get to have the kind of conversation that we want to have. We get to be who we are and no longer have to give in to the external forces around us that are constantly trying to change us in order to “fit in.”
In addition to helping you with blogging and online technology, I also want to be of help in the area of personal development and self-growth. Here, I share with you the philosophical and psychological insights that I’ve learned, tweaked and developed over the years – both as a former academic and a practitioner of these ideas.
I hope to help you see that in spite of the challenges and setbacks you’ve experienced, you have a drive in you that is profoundly greater than what you’re leading yourself to believe.
This blog might be of help to you in the following ways:
- Help you start a blog and launch your first small online business by showing you the exact steps to do so. (See my ultimate list of blogging resources to help you create a successful blog.)
- Develop a positive mental attitude and overcome negative thinking.
- Build your courage and self-confidence (and overcome shyness and anxiety) by using particular exercises and examples
- Motivate you to persist despite the presence of dis-empowering emotions
- Show you how to beat procrastination and take massive action toward your goals.
- Help you understand the potential streams of income through which you can grow your earnings
- Help you become spiritually centered and aligned with your core values and attract people who respect and share your beliefs.
- And help you let go of past mistakes and failures and focus on learning and growing
Please see this blog as a place where we can help each other grow; as an open, non-judgmental space that encourages people to share their strategies, learn from their mistakes, achieve their goals and find the courage to become their best selves.
Last but not least, the legal stuff: Please understand that personal development can be arduous. It takes effort, will, and persistent action to see results. You should not expect to transform key areas of your life quickly and/or effortlessly. In this blog, I share my experience of what has worked for me. To be explicit, what has worked for me might not necessarily work for you. Always consult a licensed professional if you decide to make changes to your life.
Okay, now that the legal stuff is out of the way, allow me to say:
Welcome to the Believe and Empower community and I look forward to seeing you on the blog sometime!
